My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Passionate Assassination - Audition Online's Roman Colosseum Debut.

"Trouble... I didn't expect our opponent to have such a substitute this time. It seems that the human wave tactic won't work."

Inside the Colosseum in Rome, a man and a woman quietly observed the assassination team advancing with blocks of ice in their hands.

The group of ordinary people who were controlled just now were created by the joint efforts of both parties. Angelica's Night Bird Flight can attack in groups, making the enemies have a strong need for drugs.

As for his partner, Massimo's abilities can naturally be used in conjunction with his. Massimo is one of Diablo's "trump cards," which does not refer to combat but to another aspect.

Massimo's stand-in, Bipolar Disorder, can produce large quantities of drugs; a significant portion of the "Passion" drugs originate from the fresh products produced by Bipolar Disorder.

If Night Bird Flight is combined with manic depression, it can lead the controlled person into hallucinations, enhance their body, and allow them to control it freely.

Massimo's Stand ability can also enhance himself for a short time by injecting drugs; in that state, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a human Platinum.

However, the downside of enhancement is that ordinary people have limited tolerance for it, resulting in a short duration of enhancement.

That is why Massimo wanted to find the Stone Mask. Having mastered the Stone Mask and no longer acting like a human, Massimo possessed strong self-confidence.

After evolving into a vampire, the ability of drugs to enhance physical strength and endurance has reached a whole new level.

In this state, Massimo felt like a god, the ultimate being, and recalling that captivating state made him somewhat excited.

Under the injection of manic-depressive drugs, the bodies of ordinary people controlled by Nightbird Flight were greatly enhanced, and they could barely fight against relatively weak Stand users for a short period of time.

However, the cost of doing so is a significant depletion of their physical potential; it's estimated that this battle will shorten the lifespan of those people considerably.

Massimo, brimming with confidence in himself, waited quietly for the assassination team to arrive. Looking at Massimo Risotto, who exuded an air of mysterious confidence, Risotto wore a serious expression.

Although it's unclear how much of a physical boost vampires provide, judging from the guy's intense confidence, he'll probably be a tough opponent.

The assassination team didn't come in full for this operation; in fact, the assassination team isn't very good at group attacks.

Prosciutto was responsible for clearing out the minions, Gachou was responsible for creating ice to prevent him from aging due to his heroic sacrifice, and the Mirror Man was responsible for helping the fleeing enemy when they couldn't defeat him.

Besides these three, only Risotto from the drug squad came. Taking a deep breath, Risotto cautiously moved towards a spot in Massimo's blind spot.

The opponent's Stand has such a wide range that only Prosciutto's heroic sacrifice can achieve long-range attacks.

After giving Prosciutto a look, he immediately understood Risotto's meaning, and Risotto, relieved, took a mirror out of his pocket.

The size of the mirror doesn't matter much, as long as it reflects the person completely.

Taking a deep breath, Prosciutto moved closer to the spot where Risotto had thrown the mirror, preparing to approach Massimo from the mirror world.

Gachu used the white album to create a bunch of ice hockey pucks and threw them at ordinary people who were extremely old. Passion in Italy could make members kill people in the street with impunity.

But the problem is that if too many people are killed and something happens, with nearly a hundred people all dead here, Prosciutto doesn't think the Boss won't intervene.

The Boss is extremely ruthless. Two of my companions who tried to find out the Boss's identity were dismembered by the Boss and sent back to the assassination team.

If the impact is really too great, Prosciutto thinks the Boss will definitely use him as a way to get rid of him.

Prosciutto, who had been pulled into the Mirror World by Iruso and granted permission, immediately ran towards Massimo's location.

After hiding behind a stone pillar and returning to the real world, Prosciutto prepared to make his move.

"A heroic death!"

As they uttered their stand-ins' names, Massimo and Angelica began to age rapidly in that instant, while no one on the other side aged because the entire assassination squad was out of range.

"This ability... the enemy is nearby!"

Recalling the heroic sacrifice he had just made, Massimo decisively spoke, while Angelica revealed a smile as if her prey had run into the pot.

"Night birds take flight!"

A stand-in, not humanoid but somewhat resembling a nightingale, appeared at this moment, and the nightingale's flight precisely pinpointed Prosciutto's current location.

Passionate Stand users are subject to information gathering on their Stand abilities by higher-ups. Angelica did not fully disclose her abilities at the time.

No, in a sense I was just telling the truth, but the literal meaning of the words was easily misunderstood.

The Night Bird needs to see its target before it can take off, but what the Night Bird needs to see is not the target itself, but the target's soul!

The Night Bird automatically tracked and dragged Angelica and Massimo's souls into the illusion. It was at the same time that Angelica pointed out Prosciutto's location to Massimo.

Massimo smiled knowingly, walked behind the stone pillar, and activated his Stand, Manic Depression.

The drug, a product of manic depression, was injected directly into Prosciutto's body. Due to a misunderstanding, Prosciutto, still in a hallucination, had his body controlled by Massimo.

Risotto's face darkened as he watched what was happening on the other side of the Colosseum. He realized that the information provided by the organization was wrong.

At the same time, how could Prosciutto, as a member of the assassination team, be weak in his resolve? Angelica's illusion was not absolutely inescapable. After breaking free from the illusion, Prosciutto began to be gradually affected by his body.

"Damn it...this feeling...this is withdrawal!"

Although he had no interest in drugs, Prosciutto, being an enthusiastic individual, knew quite a bit about drug withdrawal symptoms.

While still conscious, Prosciutto directly controlled his Stand's finger to poke his own thigh.

The Stand's power was immense; in an instant, Prosciutto had a bloody hole in his left leg.

Less than a second had passed since they finished all this. Just as they came to their senses, Angelica and Massimo joined forces again to try to control Prosciutto after the enemy broke free of their control.

At the same time, Iruso appeared through the mirror shards on the ground, made a strange fist gesture towards Prosciutto, and said, "Use the power of combination on him."

Looking in the captain's direction, Prosciutto noticed that after the captain nodded, his power of combination instantly erupted. At the same time, all members of the assassination team in the Roman Colosseum also began to unleash their power of combination.

A dazzling stream of light poured down from the sky. Prosciutto, who was familiar with the special effects that such power always brought, did not show any surprise. However, Massimo and Angelica were full of question marks. What are you trying to do?

Chapter 30: I, Risotto Nero, have a dream.

"Hmph, let me show you the power of our Passionate Assassination Dance Crew!"

Iluso smiled, his purple lipstick appearing particularly alluring under the surrounding dazzling light.

"A hallucination? No, the surrounding space is changing!"

Unbeknownst to them, a cloud of mist had enveloped the entire Roman Colosseum, and the iridescent clouds drew the two members of the assassination team and the drug team into a coordinated battle.

"Brother, is this enemy particularly troublesome?"

A radish spirit emerged from the clouds!

Bessie's voice caught the attention of Massimo and Angelica. Looking at Bessie, who resembled a radish, Massimo and Angelica simultaneously showed serious expressions.

Is this the power of styling? I never thought I could transform myself into that kind of person. That radish-shaped head couldn't possibly be natural, could it?

#The power of styling is being unfairly maligned#

Massimo quickly recalled information related to the power of combination, since that power was no longer a secret.

Currently, most Stand users in Italy are aware of the existence of the Stand's power, roughly equivalent to the number of people worldwide who know that Jotaro Kujo's Stand can stop time.

Hmm... In this world, Jotaro Kujo's Stand has been listed on the Stand panel of Wikipedia by someone, probably a remnant of DIO.

"Bessie Bessie Bessie, well... never mind, let's deal with the enemy first."

Looking at Bessie Prosciutto, who was still holding a yogurt in her hand, he instantly felt a headache coming on. Was he being too demanding of Bessie? Should he change his strategy?

Let's not expect him to become a qualified and ruthless member of an assassination squad, but at least make him act like a normal gangster.

Looking at Massimo and Angelica not far away, Risotto, the leader of the assassination squad, said expressionlessly, "Let them see the conviction of our assassination squad."

Once the relationship between practitioners of the Pairing Power reaches a certain level, they can summon each other's mental assistance from a distance during battles in the Pairing Space.

At this moment, the entire assassination team has assembled in the designated space.

As everyone adjusted their aura, the environment of the space suddenly changed, transforming from dreamy, misty clouds into a shimmering, dark steel landscape.

The obsidian-like material was underfoot, and lights occasionally streaked across the cold earth.

On either side of this black steel land stood seven members of the assassination team and two members of the drug squad, the two forces staring at each other.

"Camino, Satan is sprinkling salt on you~"

A heavy sound echoed across the black steel land. Upon hearing the prelude to this piece of music, all members of the assassination team immediately reached out, closed their eyes, and extended their right hand forward.

They seemed to be trying to hold onto their fate. At the same time, seeing the actions of the assassination team opposite them, Massimo and Angelica exchanged glances and refused to back down.

Dance skills are also a rebellious standard; the two of them had just tried to see that in this space, a substitute cannot directly attack the opponent.

In that case, let's defeat our opponent through dance. Angelica prides herself on being just as good as her opponent when it comes to dancing.

How could a mere group of assassins who only know how to kill possibly defeat me in terms of dancing skills? Besides, all I need to do is hold out until the captain finishes the fight.

Besides... I have some understanding of the power of matching. Some of the enthusiastic cadres are not clean, and some of the methods for cultivating the power of matching have already been spread.

Angelica glanced at Massimo, and after they exchanged a look, they began to call for help.

"Ha... that useless stand-in is actually dead."

When Angelica casually remarked that she had lost one of the people she could call upon, she realized that the good-for-nothing was not the reinforcement she was looking for; the real reinforcement she needed was the captain.

The space you're in is isolated from the outside world. Xia Qing, who is constantly falling down, is staring at Ke Jiaqi, looking for an opening.

Doppio is currently in control of the body. He needs to wait for the right moment to reappear and then use Crimson King for a one-hit kill.

However, at that moment, Xia Qing discovered that the cycle on Tobio's body had disappeared.

In this situation, Xia Qing directly entered the body.

Switching to Tobio's body left Xia Qing in a stalemate for a few seconds. After his body returned to Diablo's state, Kogachi, who had been in front of him, had disappeared.

"The power of styling?"

Sensing that the space in front of her was filled with a power that led to another space, Xia Qing thought for a moment and decided to go in and take a look.

There aren't many people who can use the power of matching these days, and even fewer who can connect to the realm of matching. Those are either assassination squads or Bucciarati's team.

Using a combination of powers that were terrifying compared to those people, Xia Qing entered the outer perimeter of the combination space where the group was fighting.

After using her combined power to condense a floating stone and apply an invisibility effect, Xia Qing quietly watched the two sides not far away.

The assassination team of 7 versus the remaining 3 members of the drug squad—well, that's clearly unfair.

and many more……

Xia Qing suddenly realized something: it seemed that the assassination team was the one being unfair.

Someone from the drug squad has donned the Stone Mask! The difference in physical strength between the two sides is too great!

Having discovered that the combination of elements seemed somewhat afraid of sunlight, Xia Qing already had a guess in her mind.

The characteristics of a combination's power are largely related to its owner.
